Ducks sign Festerling

The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed defenseman Brett Festerling to a two-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed.

He played 40 games for the Ducks as a rookie last season, recording five assists.

Festerling also spent half of last season with the club's farm system team in Iowa before seeing time in the NHL.

Playing time will be at a premium when it comes to defenseman, a very deep position on the Ducks' roster.

Ducks trade for Artyuhkin

The Anaheim Ducks acquired right wing Evgeny Artyuhkin in a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

In exchange for Artyuhkin, the Lightning will receive left wing Drew Miller and a third-round draft pick in the 2010 NHL Draft.

Artyuhkin finished with six goals and 10 assists in 73 game for Tampa Bay last season. He was selected by the Lightning in the third round of the 2001 NHL Draft.

Miller had four goals and six assists last year and played in all 13 playoff games for the Ducks.
